Serve and Obey

don't you just love a successful thrifting spree?? i got all this great stuff from a thrift barn behind a temple in my town. The leather pants fit me perfectly but are a little too boot cut. I can't decide if i wanna make them into shorts, take in the legs so they are more fitted, or just wear them with a loose roll at the bottoms. . .

These great old combat boots are a bit too big for me (fit like a 9) so i might stud them and list them on etsy. . .

This wool school-boy blazer's pocket had the most fantastic embroidery. . . thus the reason for my buying the jacket. I think i'm going to remove the pockets and sew them onto something better fitting. . . I am pretty in love with the symmetrically bucking goats and the phrase "serve and obey" maybe it can become my Rackk and Ruin logo or something. . . and the vintage oversized "Big Top" shirt just called to me. It has a great slit almost all the way up one side and will be worn daily this summer.

love the big top, very chic&quirky. yess the sweater won't work with pants unless I wan't top look 90's in a bad (very bad) way! Don't you find that always the best finds come at the most random times? I just ran into that thrift store yesterday because the sunny day shifted to rain and I was half naked!wow long commentLuv Luxxxx

Hey Molly, I googled Timothy Johnson and Habs and got so many results. I guess it's a really common name. A bit more info if you're interested, looks like the crest the Haberdashers' Livery Company's (http://www.haberdashers.co.uk) and they own a bunch of schools and I think some charities. I really look forward to seeing what you'll make with the crest!

Also, I've been reading your blog for ages, I'll be really happy if we could exchange links: http://ohmylungs.blogspot.com/
